This year’s series includes: “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” on Aug. 30, “Man of Steel” on Sept. 6, “Frozen” and “Now You See Me” on Sept. 13, “Despicable Me 2” on Sept. 20, “Iron Man 3” on Sept. 27 and “Monsters University,” which will be shown during the Oct. 3 Fall Festival First Friday celebration on the downtown square.

“They have an expensive list of movies that we go through and try to keep for families and children,” Hoffmeister said, adding the entire park staff participates and reviews are taken into consideration. “We had one change (from ‘Gravity’ to ‘Now You See Me’) because of some bad reviews.”

The superhero films like Marvel’s “Iron Man 3” and Warner Bros.’ “Man of Steel” contain heavy amounts of action and fantasy violence. “Iron Man 3” continues the popular Marvel film series and picks up the storyline of Tony Stark after The Avengers saved the world. “Man of Steel,” a modern retelling of the Superman origin story, stars Henry Cavill and Amy Adams.

“We certainly try to bring in everybody. There are movies for older adults who don’t want to come out to the animated films,” Hoffmeister said. “(The schedule) brings in different crowds.”

Hoffmeister said the movies have no set start time and will begin at dusk.

“The movie series is a unique one. It’s kind of serene. The tree cover provides more darkness. That kind of helps it be its own little theater,” he said.

Families are encouraged to bring blankets, chairs and picnic dinners to the movies. Concessions will be available on site. For more information, visit www.cityofnoblesville.org/parks.
